Dual proceddings on advocate - Both DP by Bar council and Criminal case

Mr.sreedhar

As far as my knowledge is considered DP"S are Extra Judicial proceedings and once the matter is adjudicated by the competent court the DP has got no value and it will be setaside the judgment  given by the competent court will prevail.

so dont worry.

I do agree with Mr. Shashidhar.

My opinion is that Disciplinary Proceedings before the Bar Council are to determine whether the Advocate is guilty of professional misconduct , while the criminal proceedings are in respect of forgery. At some point both the case will converge but differ in thier outcome and in the issues involved. The DP cannot be stayed and will go on. If conflicting findings are arrived at by both the forums , then it would be a good case before the Supreme Court when and if the matter is decided against the Advocate by the Bar Council of India. I am searching for case law , and will post it on getting it.

Thanks Mr.Rajan
